Connection Broker

The Connection Broker is an integrated component of Tectia Client and Tectia ConnectSecure. The Connection Broker handles all cryptographic operations and authentication-related tasks on the client side. Connection Broker, by default waits for a few seconds after the last client quits before disconnecting from the server. If a client, like scpg3, reconnects, a new channel is opened inside already authenticated connection.
